But now I saw that Aaron's iso file/installer actually runs 2.6.8-10 !!! That's the trick - so I copied the drivers from /lib/modules onto some other partition and then when I'm in the 2.6.8-11 system (without NIC) I then do a insmod sk98lin.ko Now that works fine! Thanks everybody ! And, Aaron, keep that iso file around !! (Or actually just the sk98lin.ko would do (223k in size)) - Sebastian > On Friday 17 June 2005 12:03, Aaron M.
